Answer:
For Company A to have a better deal, the truck must be driven more than 250 miles per day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Rent per day of company A = $70
Per mile charges = $0.20
Let,
x be the number of miles.
A(x) = 0.20x + 70
Rent per day of company B = $20
Per mile charges = $0.40
B(x) = 0.40x + 20
For make Company A better deal,
A(x) > B(x)
0.20x+70 > 0.40+20
0.20x-0.40x>20-70
-0.20x>-50
Dividing both sides by -0.20
Hence,
For Company A to have a better deal, the truck must be driven more than 250 miles per day.
Answer:
There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following probabilities:
A 50% probability that Christine finds a tutor.
With a tutor, she has a 10% probability of failling.
A 50% probability that Christine does not find a tutor.
Without a tutor, she has a 40% probability of failing.
Probability that she fails:
10% of 50%(fail with a tutor) plus 40% of 50%(fail without a tutor). So
There are a 25% probability that Christine fails the course.
